On February 12th, 2025, the Session 6 of "Whatabouts at IT-Lx", will be 
featuring Hugo Plácido da Silva [2] (Pattern and Image Analysis Group), 
presenting "Invisibles for Biomedical Sensing."

Abstract:

_In U.S. alone, there are almost twice more heart attacks than reported 
home structure fires every year. Nevertheless, a typical household has 
multiple fire detectors to help prevent the latter, and virtually no way 
of warning about the former. Biomedical sensing, analysis, and 
interpretation are basic elements of wellbeing assessment, preventive 
healthcare, and creation of better healing environments. While wearables 
have contributed to make such elements a more pervasive and integral 
part of people's daily lives, biomedical sensing can take health 
monitoring one step further. By incorporating biomedical sensing in the 
surrounding environment in a more integrated way, biomedical sensing can 
become much more pervasive. Although this approach is not likely to 
"replace" regular methods, they may act as an invisible proxy or 
complement to regular care. In this talk we will provide a brief 
introduction to the "invisibles" approach to biomedical sensing, 
describing some of the ways in which they can be incorporated in our 
everyday lives, and presenting practical examples of tools and 
conceptual installations that illustrate how the living space of the 
future may become an "invisible doctor". _
